Basically, the Xiaomi stuff is very fussy. If you have something on the same mesh they don't like (and that includes some of their own range) then they will be unreliable and drop off all the time. Nightmare. Their own hubs must have some "special sauce" to keep it all ticking over.
I now only use their battery powered devices on a Hubitat hub dedicated to running them, using only IKEA E1746 repeaters (which they seem to love). Plus side is, doing it this way, I've been using all of the kit I've written drivers for since December last year with no faults. None. Zero. Not a sausage. Every button press has been perfect.
Have a read of the first post from my driver thread, see what you think.
